UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Intellectual Property Office appointed a data delivery partner for its OneIPO transformation programme. The work is a data discovery and digital transformation service covering the organisation’s current data environment, including legacy systems, operational processes, reporting arrangements, data repositories, interfaces and manual workarounds. The supplier is expected to establish an evidence-based view of the current state, including multiple sources of truth, inconsistent data definitions, variable data quality and dependencies across service, technical and operational teams. Findings will identify constraints, opportunities and recommendations to inform the scope, approach and sequencing of later Alpha and Beta delivery phases. The main category is IT software development services. Delivery is for the Intellectual Property Office, based in Newport, and relates to one completed lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement, using a competitive call-off. Hitat was selected on 17 July 2026 for one lot. The award is valued at £475,996 excluding VAT, or £571,195.20 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, with an option to extend by three months, up to 30 May 2027. A contract signature milestone is scheduled for 14 August 2026, and the standstill period ends on 29 July 2026. The award is above the relevant threshold. The published information identifies the requirement as services and confirms a competitive framework award; it does not provide detailed scoring criteria or weightings.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Intellectual Property Office for specialist data discovery supporting a major public-sector transformation. Credible competitors would need to investigate complex data estates spanning legacy technology, operational processes, reporting, repositories, interfaces and manual workarounds, then turn evidence into practical recommendations for later delivery stages. Relevant capability includes data landscape assessment, data quality analysis, information and systems mapping, definition of authoritative sources, dependency analysis and engagement with service, technical and operational teams. Suppliers should be able to work collaboratively with a central government organisation and produce clear findings that support investment, sequencing and delivery decisions. Experience of transformation discovery and of translating fragmented current-state information into an actionable Alpha and Beta roadmap would be particularly relevant when comparable work returns to market.
